The first-year appellate advocacy competition is the capstone event at the end of Stetson’s R&W II courses. All R&W II students had completed an appellate brief and presented an oral argument, and the top six students were selected to participate in the competition. The competition was Tuesday evening in the Wm. Reece Smith Jr. Courtroom, in the Tampa Law Center.

Please join me in congratulating ALL of these students for their hard work and extraordinary performances.

We would like to thank Phelps Dunbar for sponsoring the competition again this year! We are extremely grateful for Phelps Dunbar’s continual support over all these years. A very special thank you goes out to the attorneys from Phelps Dunbar who served as judges: Valerie Assad, Sarah Gottlieb, and Jason Stearns (who also served as the Chief Judge).

Congratulations to the participants and thank you to Phelps Dunbar and our judges.
